# Redshift and Hubble's Law Imagine the universe as a stretching rubber sheet with galaxies embedded in it—as space expands, it stretches the light waves traveling through it, shifting them toward longer, redder wavelengths (hence "redshift"). Hubble's Law states that the farther away a galaxy is from us, the faster it appears to be moving away, which we observe through greater redshift. This relationship (velocity = Hubble constant × distance) was revolutionary because it provided the first strong evidence that the universe itself is expanding. Essentially, redshift is the observational evidence, and Hubble's Law is the mathematical relationship that describes the expanding universe.
